When the IRS showed up last week at the Tribal Council, well, the word spread like widfire. On fire was Gordon “Knees Knocking” Harris, the treasurer rushing all around to get those 12 boxes together filled with all kinds of stuff for Uncle Sam. “KK” (no reference to our dear KK Lopes), was probably obsessed with cooperating in light of the fact that he also recieved a subpoena. And he was instructed to be at the council to recieve it. Apparently the marshalls weren’t going to be rushing all around looking for him. You know “KK” was in place. The man has to be a wreck. His wife, what’s her name, who also worked in finance with that damn condescending attitude is wondering how they’re going to do consulting work after all this business. But she could be in that struggle alone. Who knows? Not so superior now are they? On August 8, all the Tums and Pepto Bismol between Sandwich and Boston will be gone. Yessir
But “KK” has even more on his plate. The recall election has his name on the ballot. His buddy Cedric
Shovel Ready & Knees Knocking will suffer the ultimate humiliation of removal from office and being just plain dishonest.
Cromwell is on there too. First a bunch of tribal members….a lot of them, signed the
Hundreds of signatures from the core of the Tribe. The members are ready to start over and repair the damage done by outsiders.
petions to have the recall election (twice), then they have a humiliating vote to remove them from office September 15. The signatures on the petition is a who’s who of tribal families…everyone but the Fryes (accept Ellen). The Tribe may never recover from their blatant pillaging.
If the two are ousted an election to replace Shovel Ready Ceddie and Knees Knocking should be scheduled within a month. One good thing is that the election will use paper ballots….finally a clean election. But only because it’s cheaper. But there’s another catch to the election. Enough registered voters have to show up an hour before the election or the whole thing is called off. Don’t ask me where all that came from. New form of voter suppression.
And poor Robbie. He was the first to be subpoenaed in early July. He presided over nearly half of the disappearing $500m that went in and out of the Tribe courtesy of Shovel Ready Ceddie’s magic act…nothing here, nothing there. All on his watch. Hard to explain. And after he lost to Robbie, nasty Mark Harding, (with the ole bullseye following him around now), actually kept Robbie out of the office for a month while he rummaged around on the computers deleting and loading things on to jump drives etc,. etc….but Robbie let him continue in his role as treasurer. He did it to himself.
All of this unsavory business brings us to one thing that is unbelievable. The council and elections committee complained about the cost of sending out the heavy 62-page booklets to the registered voters, about $10k. Reportedly, the Cedric council members plan to pay Robbie’s personal attorney a $10 K retainer and $500 an hour. Robbie no longer works for the tribe. He’s supposed to hire and pay for his own attorney. The same goes for Gordon Harris, and yes he works for the Tribe but so did Michael Flynn who was Trump’s National Security Advisor. Flynn had to pay for his own lawyer, not the federal government. And as the corruption got too close, White House staff began “lawyering up” and the concern was protecting themselves from corruption would send them to the poorhouse.
Unless there’s some garuntee that these guys won’t flip on you know who…it still doesn’t make sense. Just paying them to tell on ya…or go to prison.
But then again, this kind of flawed reasoning is what got Cedric, and Mark Harding in trouble in the first place.
Somebody hid those invisible cloaks.
